Giant GLORY - DROPOUT SWAP GUIDE Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a Giant GLORY. The
dropout on the GLORY represents the most versatile rear
wheel option available for bicycles. As a result, it does require
special attention. Although Giant engineers use the most
durable, highest quality and lowest maintenance materials,
you must pat attention to the following guidelines and use
proper equipment to attain the best results.
!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions will void
your warranty, and may result in hidden damage to the
dropout. Damage to the dropout may cause loss of
structural integrity and possibly result in serious personal
injury or death.
Proper assembly of the dropout will ensure the best
performance and comfort from your bicycle. This is only an
overview of the assembly and care tasks.
